Summaries

Storyline

Quiet family man and hard-working snowplow driver Nels is the lifeblood of a glitzy resort town in the Rocky Mountains because he is the one who keeps the winter roads clear. He and his wife live in a comfortable cabin away from the tourists. The town has just awarded him "Citizen of the Year," but Nels has to leave his quiet mountain life when his son is murdered by a powerful drug lord. As a man who has nothing to lose, he is stoked by a drive for vengeance. This unlikely hero uses his hunting skills and transforms from an ordinary man into a skilled killer as he sets out to dismantle the cartel. Nels' actions ignite a turf war between a manically unpredictable gangster known as Viking and a rival Ute gang boss. Justice is served in one final spectacular confrontation that will leave (almost) no one unscathed. Nels has just been honoured as citizen of the year for his hard work, keeping the roads snow free at an exclusive snow resort near Denver Colorado. When his son is murdered on the orders of a vicious Drug Lord nicknamed Viking, Nels takes vengeance on each of the men involved, moving up the chain of command with each killing. Viking makes the mistake of thinking the killings are the work of a rival Native American drug cartel and begins a war which ends in a finale of last man standing proportions. Extreme violence with more than a hint of dark comedy which doffs its hat to the Cohen Brothers in atmospheric style. Now that he's won ski resort Kehoe's prestigious "Citizen of the Year" award, the quiet family man and taciturn snowplough operator, Nels Coxman, is, officially, a pillar of the community. Then, his son Kyle ends up dead by a ruthless local drug cartel, triggering a radical transformation and a blood-soaked journey of retribution. One after another, the bodies keep piling up as Nels and his unforgiving sawed-off hunting rifle seek the "Viking," the one behind the murder of his only son. They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Who can stop Coxman, the pained father turned icy vigilante? — Nick Riganas
